Does anyone know of any family that applied for study permit at the same time open work permit for the husband and a visit visa for the son and it was approved. Am Nigerian I want to apply for my study permit at the same time process my husband open work permit and visit visa for my son. Open permit processing is 25 weeks will it delay my study permit as I am to resume Jan intake. What is the chance of the visa being approved. We have strong home ties

Hi omofar.
Hello, good evening.
Please I need your assistance for a student visa.
-Is LOE/SOP the same thing?
-do I need to submit my personal bank statement or just my sponsors?
-how do I include family ties to my SOP?

I would suggest you defer the admission on grounds of delayed visa approval.

All the best.

Its a yes and no answer.

But as for me, they are the same. The use of SOP has been described on this thread, kindly refer to that post so that you can know how to write it.

In some cases, you might want to explain why your Uncle is paying for your fees, or why there is a recent large deposit into your bank statement, or why you had been denied a visa to another country in the past. But ordinarily you should be able to cleverly fit all this into the SOP if they are necessary.

All the best.

Greetings!

If you are interested in hearing the truth, and still ready to proceed despite the challenges, you are welcome here. If you want to be pampered, please go elsewhere.

I am here offer advise to anyone who is Nigerian and needs assistance in navigating the dangerous waters of Canadian study permit application. Identify what the problem might be and how to possibly over come them.

It would be better to come here before you apply, rather than after you have applied, it might be too late to assist you then. Also, never rush to put in an application, if you are rejected once, your chances of being rejected a second time increases by about 60-70%.

Looking forward to assisting anyone with question here.

You are welcome.

Cheers
Please I need your guide regarding download IMM study permit application form. I have tried all possible means still it's showing please wait. I used Adobe reader, internet explorer it opened with please wait. If you have the form please share with me? If no, please I need your mail or contact? I have been in this stress for 2 days now. Thanks

Thank you so much, I have done that straight away. For the ongoing visa processing what should do or do I need to notify the embassy?

Is the situation is better now in Nigeria? Is the refusal rate is less than in the past?
Hi Murich,

Your question sounds satirical or rhetorical...I am sure you know the answer already. Approval rates are below 10-15%.

Cheers.

Hi Theoanne,

Hope well. Just forward the medical report to them again via the webform and direct it to the Kenyan and London Office. Once your medical is passed, then you wait and hope for the best. Passing medicals does not Guarantee permit approval.

All the best.
